In the first part of the manuscript, we establish several consistency results concerning Woodin's $\HOD$ hypothesis and large cardinals around the level of extendibility. First, we prove that the first extendible cardinal can be the first…

For cardinals lambda, kappa, theta we consider the class of graphs of cardinality lambda which has no subgraph which is (kappa, theta)-complete bipartite graph. The question is whether in such a class there is a universal one under (weak)…

For a topological space $X$, let $X_\delta$ be the space $X$ with $G_\delta$-topology of $X$. For an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we prove that the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\omega_1$-strongly compact. (2) For every…

We prove some consistency results about b(lambda) and d(lambda), which are natural generalisations of the cardinal invariants of the continuum b and d. We also define invariants b_cl(lambda) and d_cl(lambda), and prove that almost always…

Assuming an abstract comparison principle called the Ultrapower Axiom, which is motivated by the comparison process of inner model theory and generalizes the statement that the Mitchell order is linear on normal ultrafilters, we…

We show that the consistency of $\mathrm{ZF} + \mathrm{AD}_{\mathbb{R}} + ``\Theta$ is measurable$"$ implies the consistency of $\mathrm{ZF} +``\Theta$ is the least strongly regular cardinal and the least measurable cardinal$"$ + $``$all…

We extend and improve the result of Makkai and Par\'e that the powerful image of any accessible functor F is accessible, assuming there exists a sufficiently large strongly compact cardinal. We reduce the required large cardinal assumption…

Assume V=L and lambda is regular smaller than the first weakly compact cardinal. Under those circumstances and with arbitrary requirements on the structure of Ext(G,Z) (under well known limitations), we construct an abelian group G of…

For an abstract elementary class $\mathbf{K}$ and a cardinal $\lambda \geq LS(\mathbf{K})$, we prove under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions, categoricity in two succesive cardinals, almost stability for $\lambda^+$-minimal types and…

For an uncountable regular cardinal \kappa we let \nabla_\kappa(A) be the statement that A \subset \kappa and for all regular \theta > \kappa, the set of all X \in [\theta]^<\kappa such that X \cap \kappa \in \kappa and otp(X \cap OR) is a…

The authors show, by means of a finitary version square^{fin}_{lambda,D} of the combinatorial principle square^{b^*}_{lambda}, the consistency of the failure, relative to the consistency of supercompact cardinals, of the following: for all…

Assuming the existence of a supercompact cardinal and an inaccessible above it, we construct a model of ZFC, in which all uncountable regular cardinals are inaccessible in HOD.

We consider the partition lattice $\Pi_\kappa$ on any set of transfinite cardinality $\kappa$ and properties of $\Pi_\kappa$ whose analogues do not hold for finite cardinalities. Assuming the Axiom of Choice we prove: (I) the cardinality of…

Let $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ be cardinal numbers such that $\kappa$ is infinite and either $2\leq \lambda\leq \kappa$, or $\lambda=2^\kappa$. We prove that there exists a lattice $L$ with exactly $\lambda$ many congruences, $2^\kappa$ many…

We prove that for every singular cardinal mu of cofinality omega, the complete Boolean algebra compP_mu(mu) contains as a complete subalgebra an isomorphic copy of the collapse algebra Comp Col(omega_1,mu^{aleph_0}). Consequently, adding a…

The property of countable metacompactness of a topological space gets its importance from Dowker's 1951 theorem that the product of a normal space X with the unit interval is again normal iff X is countably metacompact. In a recent paper,…

We give an affirmative answer to a question of Gorelic \cite{Gorelic}, by showing it is consistent, relative to the existence of large cardinals, that there is a proper class of cardinals $\alpha$ with $cf(\alpha)=\omega_1$ and…

Suppose $\kappa$ is a regular cardinal and $\bar a=\langle \mu_i: i<\kappa \rangle$ is a non-decreasing sequence of regular cardinals. We study the set of possible cofinalities of cuts Pcut$(\bar a)=\{(\lambda_1, \lambda_2):$ for some…

We succeed to say something on the identities of (mu^+, mu) when mu>theta>cf(mu), mu strong limit theta--compact. This hopefully will help to prove the consistency of ``some pair (mu^+,mu) is not compact'', however, this has not been…

It is well known to generalize the meagre ideal replacing aleph_0 by a (regular) cardinal lambda > aleph_0 and requiring the ideal to be lambda^+-complete. But can we generalize the null ideal? In terms of forcing, this means finding a…
